Thought You Were Done With Me?

Just when you thought you were done hearing from me I have one more blog post (unless I find something else interesting).

This just fit in too well with your new fourth graders to pass up, so I wanted to add one more post.  The app below (for iPad only) is currently free, but it usually only lasts a couple of days.

It gives kids quizzes and shows what they need to work on for the STAR test, which is similar to our MAPs test.  It seems like a good way to get a little review in over the summer without stressing them out too much.

Hope your summer is going great!

Thanks

I'll try to keep it short and sweet for our last post.  Thanks for a great year!  I had a really nice group of students who I enjoyed working with this year.  Also, I appreciated the supportive and committed parents that I had this year too.

Have a great summer and make sure you stop in and say hi next year!

Last Day Reminders

A class picture from our field trip!

Just a few reminders before our last day of school.
  -  We dismiss at 11:15 tomorrow.
  -  No lunch will be served at school.
  -  There will be breakfast still if the kids choose.
  -  Report cards will go home tomorrow with the kids.
  -  Remember to wear clothes and shoes you can run around in.  Also, bring a sweatshirt as it may be cool.
  -  Everything is coming home tonight so the kids won't need to bring a backpack tomorrow.

Everything is Turned In!

Our class has everything turned in for the year!  Great job students and parents!  All our library books are turned in.  Every registration form has been sent to the office and there are no outstanding fees to be paid.  Thanks for getting everything in, I know that there is a lot of stuff sent home at the end of the year.

So that means I will be sending all the students report cards home on Thursday.  We'll pack up everything else on Wednesday so their desks will be emptied and they shouldn't need to bring a backpack on Thursday if they don't want.  The state pillows will be sent home tonight.

Reading Calendars Due Monday!

The May Reading Calendars are due on Monday, June 3rd.  We will have our extra reading recess Monday afternoon.

A few other notes, since I didn't post much during the week.

• We did a fondu fountain for my birthday treat.  It was fairly messy, but we survived.
• The field trip was great and went without incident or bad weather.
• When we got back to school though, we went straight into the boys bathroom because of the tornado warning.  The nearest interior room to us is the boys bathroom and we had just gotten in the room when the alarm went off.
• Friday the students got their extra recess for getting to FIVE MILLION words!  That was a challenging goal, but they made it.
